Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of cooling materials, and in particular to a method, device and medium for determining and evaluating the melting temperature of heated cigarette filter materials. Background Art

[0002] Currently, a large number of studies have shown that nicotine and most flavor components can be released from tobacco and transferred into the smoke at relatively low temperatures (250-500°C). Excessively high temperatures not only increase the types and content of harmful components in the smoke, but also convert flavor components into harmful substances. Therefore, if the temperature of cigarettes is reduced to below 500°C, the so-called "heating but not burning tobacco", many harmful components in the smoke can be significantly reduced, while the flavor components are relatively less affected. Some flavor components may even increase due to reduced pyrolysis. Therefore, heat-not-burn cigarettes came into being.

[0003] Compared with traditional cigarettes, heat-not-burn cigarettes are shorter in length, and the high-temperature smoke spends less time passing through the cigarette, requiring suitable materials to cool the high-temperature smoke. Chinese patent CN107981417A discloses an aerosol-generating article with an aerosol cooling element from Philip Morris, wherein the aerosol cooling element includes a sheet composed of free polyethylene (PE), polypropylene (PP), polyvinyl chloride (PVC), polyethylene terephthalate (PET), polylactic acid (PLA), acetate fiber (CA), and aluminum foil. Patent CN108523216A discloses a polylactic acid tow filter rod that can reduce smoke temperature and has low absorption resistance, and its corresponding preparation method; Chinese patent CN 108201169A discloses a cooling unit formed by embossing and pleating a composite sheet of a polymer film and cellulose paper, wherein the polymer film is mainly a polylactic acid film, a polyethylene film, a polypropylene film, etc. The above patents all solve the problem of cooling high-temperature smoke. In the article "Research on Polylactic Acid Cooling Film" published by Yunnan China Tobacco, the temperature measurement points of the support section and the cooling material section were only 60.6-78.6℃. However, when we scanned the cooling materials used at the corresponding temperature measurement points, we found that the polylactic acid material had melted and adhered (the melting temperature was at least 160℃), indicating that there was a huge gap between the temperature measured by the probe and the actual temperature of the smoke. The probe temperature could not reflect the true temperature of the smoke, and the probe temperature could not accurately measure the melting temperature of the filter material.

[0045] It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are only used to explain the present invention and are not intended to limit the present invention.

[0046] The present invention discloses a method for determining the melting temperature of a heated cigarette filter material.

[0047] Reference Figure 1 , Figure 1This is a flow chart of the first embodiment of the method for determining the melting temperature of heated cigarette filter material according to the present invention.

[0048] In an embodiment of the present invention, the method for determining the melting temperature of a heated cigarette filter material is applied to a melting temperature determination device, and the method includes:

[0049] Step S10, obtaining the phase transition temperature of the filter material by a synchronous thermal analyzer;

[0050] In this embodiment, to determine the melting temperature of the added cigarette filter material, the filter material is placed in a synchronous thermal analyzer, which analyzes and detects the filter material to obtain its phase transition temperature. A melting temperature determination device then obtains the phase transition temperature of the filter material from the synchronous thermal analyzer. The phase transition temperature is the temperature at which the filter material changes from solid to liquid.

[0051] Step S10, in which the phase transition temperature of the filter material is obtained by a synchronous thermal analyzer, may include:

[0052] Step a1, sending a phase change temperature acquisition instruction to the synchronous thermal analyzer;

[0053] In this embodiment, in order to determine the melting temperature of the added cigarette filter material, the filter material is placed in a synchronous thermal analyzer, and the synchronous thermal analyzer analyzes and detects the filter material to obtain the phase change temperature of the filter material. Then, the melting temperature determination device sends a phase change temperature acquisition instruction to the synchronous thermal analyzer.

[0054] Step a2, receiving the phase change temperature change curve returned by the synchronous thermal analyzer according to the phase change temperature acquisition instruction;

[0055] In this embodiment, after the melting temperature determination device sends the phase change temperature acquisition instruction to the synchronous thermal analyzer, the synchronous thermal analyzer receives the phase change temperature acquisition instruction sent by the melting temperature determination device. The synchronous thermal analyzer sends the phase change temperature change curve of the filter material stored in the synchronous thermal analyzer to the melting temperature determination device according to the phase change temperature acquisition instruction, and the melting temperature determination device receives the phase change temperature change curve sent by the synchronous thermal analyzer.

[0056] Step a3: Calculate the phase transition temperature based on the phase transition temperature change curve.

[0057] In this embodiment, after the melting temperature determination device receives the phase change temperature curve sent by the synchronous thermal analyzer, the melting temperature determination device processes the phase change temperature curve and takes the maximum value on the phase change temperature curve as the phase change temperature of the filter material.

[0058] Step S20, determining a plurality of oven detection temperatures according to the phase change temperature;

[0059] In this embodiment, after obtaining the phase transition temperature of the filter material, the melting temperature determining device determines several oven detection temperatures based on the phase transition temperature. For example, when the phase transition temperature of the filter material is 160°C, the oven detection temperatures may be 155°C, 155.5°C, 156°C, 156.5°C, 157°C, 157.5°C, 158°C, 158.5°C, 159°C, 159.5°C, 160°C, 160.5°C, 161°C, 161.5°C, 162°C, 162.5°C, 163°C, 163.5°C, 164°C, 164.5°C, and 165°C.

[0060] As another embodiment, after obtaining the phase transition temperature of the filter material, the melting temperature determination device uses all temperatures in an arithmetic progression that differ from the phase transition temperature by a first preset value within a second preset value range as the oven detection temperature. The first preset value may be 5°C, and the second preset value may be 0.5°C. For example, when the phase transition temperature of the filter material is 160°C, the oven detection temperatures may be 155°C, 155.5°C, 156°C, 156.5°C, 157°C, 157.5°C, 158°C, 158.5°C, 159°C, 159.5°C, 160°C, 160.5°C, 161°C, 161.5°C, 162°C, 162.5°C, 163°C, 163.5°C, 164°C, 164.5°C, and 165°C.

[0061] Step S30, obtaining an electron microscope image of the filter material at each oven testing temperature by using an electron microscope scanner;

[0062] In this embodiment, after the melting temperature determination device determines the oven detection temperature, the filter material is manually placed in an oven, the oven baking temperature is adjusted to the oven detection temperature, and the filter material is baked at the oven detection temperature for a preset time. The baked filter material is then placed under an electron microscope scanner for electron microscope inspection, obtaining an electron microscope image of the filter material at the oven detection temperature. Similarly, an electron microscope image of the filter material at each oven detection temperature is obtained. The melting temperature determination device then transmits an electron microscope image of the filter material at each oven detection temperature to the electron microscope scanner.

[0063] Step S30 obtains an electron microscope image of the filter material at each oven test temperature by using an electron microscope scanner, and the electron microscope image may include:

[0064] Step b1, sending an electron microscope image acquisition instruction to the electron microscope scanner;

[0065] In this embodiment, after the melting temperature determination device determines the oven detection temperature, the filter material is manually placed in an oven, the oven baking temperature is adjusted to the oven detection temperature, and the filter material is baked at the oven detection temperature for a preset time. The baked filter material is then placed under an electron microscope scanner for electron microscope inspection, obtaining an electron microscope image of the filter material at the oven detection temperature. Similarly, electron microscope images of the filter material at each oven detection temperature are obtained. The melting temperature determination device then sends an electron microscope image acquisition instruction to the electron microscope scanner. After receiving the electron microscope image acquisition instruction, the electron microscope scanner sends the electron microscope image of the filter material at each oven detection temperature stored in the electron microscope scanner to the melting temperature determination device.

[0066] Step b2, receiving the electron microscope image returned by the electron microscope scanner according to the electron microscope image acquisition instruction, wherein the electron microscope image is an image of the filter material scanned by the electron microscope scanner after being placed in the oven for a preset time at each oven detection temperature.

[0067] In this embodiment, after the electron microscope scanner transmits an electron microscope image of the filter material at each of the oven detection temperatures to the melting temperature determination device, the melting temperature determination device then receives an electron microscope image of the filter material at each of the oven detection temperatures returned by the electron microscope scanner in response to the electron microscope image acquisition instruction. The electron microscope image is a scan taken by the electron microscope scanner of the filter material after it has been placed in the oven for a predetermined period of time at each of the oven detection temperatures.

[0068] Step S40: determining the melting temperature of the filter material based on the plurality of electron microscope images.

[0069] In this embodiment, after obtaining electron microscope images of the filter material at each of the oven detection temperatures, the melting temperature determining device determines the melting temperature of the filter material based on a plurality of electron microscope images.

[0070] Step S40, determining the melting temperature of the filter material based on the plurality of electron microscope images, may include:

[0071] Step c1, sorting the plurality of electron microscope images from low to high according to the oven detection temperatures corresponding to the electron microscope images;

[0072] In this embodiment, after obtaining the electron microscope images of the filter material at each of the oven detection temperatures, the melting temperature determination device sorts the electron microscope images from low to high according to the oven detection temperatures corresponding to the electron microscope images.

[0073] Step c2, detecting the similarity between two adjacent electron microscope images;

[0074] In this embodiment, the melting temperature determining device sorts the plurality of electron microscope images from low to high according to the oven detection temperature, and then detects the similarity between two adjacent electron microscope images.

[0075] Step c3: If the similarity between the N-1th electron microscope image and the Nth electron microscope image is greater than a first preset threshold and the similarity between the Nth electron microscope image and the N+1th electron microscope image is less than a second preset threshold similarity, then the oven detection temperature corresponding to the N+1th electron microscope image is determined as the melting temperature of the filter material.

[0076] In this embodiment, when the melting temperature determination device detects that the similarity between the N-1th electron microscope image and the Nth electron microscope image is greater than the first preset threshold and the similarity between the Nth electron microscope image and the N+1th electron microscope image is less than the second preset threshold, the oven detection temperature corresponding to the N+1th electron microscope image is determined as the melting temperature of the filter material.

[0077] This embodiment utilizes the above-described solution to obtain the phase transition temperature of the filter material using a synchronous thermal analyzer; determine several oven test temperatures based on the phase transition temperature; obtain electron microscope images of the filter material at each of the oven test temperatures using an electron microscope scanner; and determine the melting temperature of the filter material based on the several electron microscope images. This allows for accurate determination of the melting temperature of heated cigarette filter material.

[0141] In this embodiment, after determining the corrected temperature of the filter material, the filter material evaluation device corrects the melting temperature based on the corrected temperature to obtain the thermal shock temperature measured by the temperature measuring probe. The thermal shock temperature measured by the temperature measuring probe is used to measure the smoke temperature measured by the temperature measuring probe after puffing of the heated cigarette; the thermal shock temperature measured by the temperature measuring probe is the melting temperature minus the corrected temperature.

[0149] Step g2: If the thermal shock temperature is greater than the maximum value of the temperature curve to be evaluated, the cooling effect of the filter material is qualified.

[0150] In this embodiment, when the filter material evaluation device determines that the thermal shock temperature is greater than the maximum value of the temperature curve to be evaluated, the filter material cooling effect is qualified.

[0152] Step h1: If the thermal shock temperature is less than or equal to the maximum value of the temperature curve to be evaluated, the cooling effect of the filter material is unqualified.

[0153] In this embodiment, when the filter material evaluation device determines that the thermal shock temperature is less than or equal to the maximum value of the temperature curve to be evaluated, the cooling effect of the filter material is unqualified.
